Trevor Atkins said: “We don’t need this vile hangover of a bygone era visiting us. Can’t believe we still have this ridiculous hereditary title in an allegedly modern country”,

Alex Leach agreed saying: “Let’s be true to Hull and turn her away at Beverley Gate.”

Many of the hundreds of people commenting reminisced about the Queen’s last visit in 2009, as well as previous attendances in 2002, 1999, 1993, 1987 and 1957.

Annie Hart said: “I remember her coming to Hull and a friend and I were walking along Hedon Road.

"We saw the posh car coming so natural we stared at it and got waved at. There wasn’t anyone else in sight.”

Whatever your opinion on the Queen, this is a huge coup for the city during its culture year, and will hopefully see people head into Hull for a glimpse of Her Majesty on what may be her last visit before she relinquishes more royal responsibilities.
